Problem Statement
What is the effect of pressure on carbonation in soda?
Hypothesis
It is hypothesized that if you use big ice cubes then, more fizz will form.
Abstract
The problem was do ice cubes effect the pressure on carbonation in soda?
It was hypothesized that if you use bigger ice cubes, then more fizz will form in the soda.
The procedures followed was to rinse five ice cubes in cold water and put them all together so they are close and touching, more so that they could freeze into a clump. I had to do the same with a group of 4, 3, and 2 ice cubes. And put aside a single ice cube on a fifth plate. Then fill the glass 3-1/4 full with soda. Then I had to stand around and wait until the fizz die down, moreover drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. I had to make sure to drop it from the same level as the surface of the glass. Record and repeat. It was concluded that the size of the ice cube didn’t determine the amount of fizz that can build up in soda because the ice is only pressure to the soda which exposes the carbonation in soda. I noticed while doing the experiment the soda had more fizz without the pressure of ice cubes and with the ice cubes instead of the fizz building up in soda it caused the fizz to die down. So therefore, the results of the experiment did not support the hypothesis.
Procedures
Rinse five ice cubes in cold water for a second or two
Cluster them together on a plate so they are all touching and place a plate in the freezer. They will freeze into a clump
Do the same with a group of four, three, and two ice cubes. Set a single ice cube aside on the fifth plate
Fill the glass three-quarters full with sod. Screw the top back on the soda tightly when finished
Wait until the fizz on the top of the soda has died down
Drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. Make sure to drop it from the same level as the
